Sow in March in hot-bed, and transplant when two inches high into a second 

 hot-bed, or let them remain and thin out to four inches apart. When the 

 weather becomes settled, transplant into the open ground three feet apart 

 each way. Good culture is quite as important as good seed; work the ground 

 deep; make it rich with well-rotted manure and hoe often.

ENDIVE. 



(EnDttoien, 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 38 to acre. 



It may be sowed at any time. For main crop sow in June or July, in rows : 



: 15 inches apart. When nearly full grown it is blanched, to destroy bitterness, 1 



? in the following form : When dry gather up the leaves and tie them by their : 



tips in a conical shape, or lay clean boards right over the plants, which thereby : 



? excludes the light and air from their inner leaves, which then blanch to a beauti- £ 



';' ful yellowish white. After fourteen days or three weeks they will be ready for ^ 



I use. Tie up at different times, as it only keeps a short time after blanching. It j 



/ makes a splendid salad, and is very useful, as it comes in after Lettuce is gone. :
